Kindly explain the issue or concern or error or message encountered, and why you suspect your iPhone has been targeted; some background and details, please?


You’re either immensely valuable to some organization, or your Apple ID has been compromised, or you don’t have malware but rather some other sort of advertising or other scam. Scams are far and away the most common. Not actual malware, which is very rare.


For some of the myriad scams, start here:
